The stream that sustains the godly man

Psalms 1 presents us an analogy. The Godly man is like a tree planted beside a river.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

If you rephrase this analogy in your mind, "a godly man is to a tree as ________ is to a river," the question springs forth, "What sustains the godly man like a river sustains a tree?" The answer is found in the previous verse - The law of the Lord. Scripture sustains us.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
